They did that so standard driver version checking wouldn't stop the drivers from loading and they could maintain complete driver compatibility.
So they said. Regards, Michael B.

That's our plan here. We often skip alternating versions anyway. Keeping up with the Joneses costs a lot and rarely pays off. I basically see Windows 7 as a Service Pack for Vista with a end-of-life date further off in the future. It's not like we're talking about something radical here, either. It isn't like Office 2007 or Vista can do amazing new things, cutting-edge science. Windows runs programs, Word is a word processor, Excel is a spreadsheet. These are solved problems. Indeed, I think one of Microsoft's problems is that there's just not that much more to *add* to Word that's worth the cost. But stockholders expect perpetually increasing revenue, and Office is Microsoft's cash cow. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
